I think blue flames have been around for quite a while actually.

 

I know but its something that is currently very Sci-fi orientated ATM and associated with Cold Fusion, hence the cool blue colour.

You only have to look at the population growth map (pick any, most are the same)

Anyone, even someone extremely bad at mathematics can see that this can't continue.

I always associate it with "Cook... cook... cook... cookability"

I've reported the thread so as to correct the misspelling. My apologies to you all.

How is it brought under control ,ethically ?

Education and prosperity.

The birth rate in most 1st world countries is lower than the retention level (ie more people die than are born).

The population you mean?

 

It can't/it won't.

The World could be totally wonderful for everybody, but money, its acquisition, and the need to wallow in excess seems to be at the bottom of the biggest problems.

 

A more equitable distribution would bring about a great many benefits to all, particularly those countries that are below a satisfactory worldwide level.

Yes, I meant the population.

A lot of our optimism does rely heavily on a belief in endless material progression. It's like an article of faith. Every politician agrees on economic growth. in their view it is ,good, necessary,the proper end of organized human activity. It's the engine that drives education and prosperity.

So what happens when you divvy up the world's money amongst everyone (in this idealist utopia), and some people want and try to attain more?

 

And what is excess anyway?

 

I watched that gangland britian thing on tv the otherweek, and the guys and girls in it were drug dealing because they 'wanted to feed the family innit' - and when it showed what they spent their money on, it was expensive overpriced ****e trainers and tops with labels on innit, feel me?
